Southport session

Went to Southport on Adelaide's mid coast for a surf on Friday morning before work. The forecast was for 3 ft but it was more like 1.5-2ft with 5-10k not onshore winds. The banks at the hump were none existent but luckily there was a little right hander in front of the clubhouse that was holding shape with some nice little rides. The crowd wasn't too big and my camera generated plenty of interest. Its funny watching peoples reactions when they see the camera on the board. They are generally very surprised that its a video camera and not just a still camera. Any way, my bro and i hit it up for a couple of hours and got some ok ones. My best wave was a reverse spin to poovert combo which i captured in the below vid. My bro accidentally took out a surfer which is also in the vid and worth a bit of a laugh. No harm done.



Cant wait to try the camera out in some cleaner hollower conditions. Hopefully over the christmas break.

Vids

Now that ive got my gopro i thought i should learn how to use the video editing programs. I threw together a short clip of some old footage my bro had just to play around with. The riding and the waves are far from great but i dont have many good sessions on camera as our "moles" dont came and record us very often.
Here is a short vid from southport i made just using the crusty windows movie maker program that was allready on my computer. Have a laugh
